The face of news-gathering and reporting is changing. Organizations that report the news are slimming down their teams in the field and welcoming a more mobile, flexible and responsive brand of journalism. Enter the Backpack Journalist - videographer, writer, producer, editor and reporter who is fleet afoot with it all. Designed and taught by Chicago Tribune multimedia producer and video-journalist, Christopher Booker, this extensive introduction to Backpack Journalism will get you started and point you to the growing number of internet venues where your work can be shown.
The internet allows photographers to broaden their reach to new audiences and tell stories in ways that they could never have before. Combining compelling images with supporting audio adds depth to a story in ways that a package built of classic text and pictures can not. This class will get you hearing with your eyes and seeing with your ears. Armed with your camera and audio recorder, you will learn to blend your new senses into a crafted audio slideshow story with power and presence.
